LifeLine Essential Armour Commuter Tyres combine the highest level of puncture protection with excellent speed and handling characteristics to excel on your daily urban commute. The tyre also boasts a reflective strip on the side wall for improved night time visibility.

Effective Puncture ProtectionA 5mm high-elasticity compound rubber breaker sits beneath the tread to shield the inner tube from sharp objects such as glass shards, thorns and other road debris. In the event that the tread is pierced, the breaker distributes the pressure to help prevent the inner tube from being punctured.

The tread pattern features deep channels to shift surface water away from the center of the tyre for increased grip in wet conditions. The raised, textured shoulders add further grip in tight corners for a stable and confident feel as you dodge the potholes and sprint for the lights before they change.

The aramid folding beads provide a secure interface with the rim whilst also allowing easy installation.

Size MattersThe 32mm and 35mm options offer a smooth cushioned feel, increased contact with the road and added grip. They will fit on the vast majority of hybrid and cyclocross / gravel bikes. Both options will also fit on 29er mountain bike wheels so you can take you off-road rig up to speed on the tarmac.

About City Tyres

These tyres are designed to meet the rigours of city/trail riding and will fit Hybrid styled bikes, they are wider than a road race tyre to offer a larger contact area with the road and will provide more comfort. Wider tyres are less prone to punctures and will provide more grip. Within this range we offer semi slick or knobbly tyres, the semi slick tyres will be ideal for road use and the knobbly style will provide more grip for light trail use or loose surfaces such as gravel.

Nightmare to fitOK, so I'm not the most mechanically adept of people but I've always managed to change tyres easily enough - until now that is. This is my first and last experience of fitting folded tyres. The tyres themselves seem to be of good quality and the puncture protection is certainly thick, but very inflexible. As the tyres come folded up, the rigid protective layer becomes distorted and doesn't want to revert to its circular shape, even after following the advice of other reviews and opening them leaving them to settle for a day or 2 before fitting. I managed to fit the first tyre in about half an hour, but the second one took much longer. I even managed to put a tyre leaver through the new inner tube that I was fitting at the same time, despite being careful and not going at it hammer and tongs. The second one was eventually fitted, but needed refitting on its first ride as it had become unseated from the rim. The first few tens of miles of the ride also felt a little uncomfortable too, even at 60 psi the tyres have a noticeably more rigid ride than my previous Continental Gator skins and the puncture protection layer still hadn't fully reverted to it's original shape making for a subtle but noticeable bumpy feel to the ride. I don't ride fast enough to comment on handling at speed! And it's too early to comment on how well they last.

Cheap and cheerfulI moved to these from a pair of Schwalbe Kojaks. They don't roll anywhere near as well. I didn't think I would notice the difference (because I'm not that great), but I'm a couple of km slower everywhere on these.
In saying that, they're super comfortable and have plenty of grip. I've ridden more than 200km on them (mainly urban commuting) and they hold well and provide a little extra cushion. Would recommend if you're a casual commute and not worried about rolling as fast as possible!

Brilliant tyre for the priceBought these tyres for my winter/commuter bike and have not been disappointed. Haven't punctured once in the months I've been using these and they show little signs of wear. They have a sure footed feel and never loose grip even one ice. Only downsides is the weight and that they are hard to fit.

ToughNot the best handling tyre but they are tough. Cycled over a thumbtack last week though the worst when I removed it but nothing happened. The armour worked a treat.
